Daily Fix (Leaving Work Late) - Canon Rebel XTi

Unknown said...: What I've learned so far (more of the same ... cars and here is why):
- To really learn the settings on the camera (WB/AF/Shutter Delay/Metering/Single vs. Multi point Focus/etc, etc, etc) I have to repeat the same shots over and over and compare
- This parking garage is very private, safe, and has a semi naturally lit portion no one uses
- I'm not AT ALL fond of anything with F stop larger than 1.8, they just don't perform just as well (not as crisp of a picture)
- 18mm-2xx lens is the MOST versatile lens to have (A bit pricey however which is why I don't own one =)
- In the absence of the much MUCH pricier 18mm-2xx F1.8 or better I use an 18mm-55mm (F3.5-5.6) and a fixed 50mm (F1.8 which I like a lot)
- Want a crisp shot? Use the lowest ISO setting supported on the camera, set your own F stop and Shutter delay and use a tri pod at ALL times (even in day light)
- These are all I could salvage from a set of over 50 pictures which were all blurry due to free hand shooting
- I stick to natural light, better feel in my eyes at least

Last but not least ... chime in ... I'd love to hear from the ones that have already figured all this out and take MUCH better pictures =); February 17, 2010 at 7:20 PM
